Murder in February

THE AFFAIR AT THE BOAT LANDING-- A. B. Cunningham--Dutton ($2). The mother wit of Kentucky Sheriff Jess Roden here solves the killing of a farmer and a beauteous halfwit. The story is noteworthy for color and character, as well as for logical detection.

BURY ME NOT-- William Francis-- Morrow ($2). This rowdily amusing exercise in the prevention of body snatching, featuring a corpse that found its coffin too confining, will please readers of hardy sensibilities.

SIREN IN THE NIGHT--Leslie Ford-- Scribner ($2). Colonel Primrose, Sergeant Buck and the fluttery Mrs. Grace Latham are here concerned with a cyaniding job in San Francisco--a well-groomed, romantic, chilling tale in the best Ford style.

NIGHT OVER THE WOOD--Hugh Addis -- Dodd, Mead ($2). On a California rancho well stocked with borderline cases, one corpse turns up in a well, another is headless in a sinister wood lot. Crime and kidding are capitally mixed.
